([Soviet Censorship]) Coverage Of Chess Match Restricted
Reykjavik, Iceland (AP)
Organizers of the Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world championship chess match will restrict move-by-move coverage and photographs of the contenders inside the contest hall, it was announced Wednesday.
The announcement brought protests from news wire services and from two television outlets which are planning in-depth accounts of the 24-game match based on move-by-move reports from The Associated Press. The first game is scheduled for Sunday.
GUDMUNDUR Thorarinsson, chairman of the Icelandic Chess Federation, said the restrictions were decreed because photographic and move-by-move coverage rights had been sold.
Channel 24 In Orlando had been scheduled to receive the move-by-move analysis from Channel 13 in New York. Ronald Morrisseau, Channel 24 executive vice president and general manager, said his station had looked forward to the presentation. “We see it as news coverage and purchasers of the television rights,” he said.
